Opinions please, does Hanninen have enough to beat Tanak in France

[cali]

Remember SS2 from last rally - i would say Ott has some skills on wet too.

IMHO Juho would be stupid to take any risks in order to win in Germany. Martin Prokop is not quite up to Ott and Juho speed, so if Juho can keep Martin behind him, he is quite comfortable in terms of overall win. Going full speed against Tänak is just another gamble of who makes mistake first, and if it happens to be Juho, he may fall back in standings enaugh to give Ott chance he does not have at the moment.

SS2 was all about tyres

Juho had hard tyres (same as Hirvonen and Latvala), Ott had soft tyres (same as Loeb and Ogier). That was the difference.

Yes, Hänninen has the speed to beat Tänak, and yes, Tänak has the speed to beat Hänninen on tarmac, but wins who will take acceptable risks and wiser choices. Tänak is not just as much experienced to take greater risks as Hänninen , but Tänak can definetely make the pressure to Hänninen. But Hänninen in that case may just be clever, and will take second place in order to win championship.

And thinking otherwise, both Tänak and Hänninen has capabilities to blew it all up for France, and the winner is Prokop or somebody else.

i know. but he wasnt alone on softs and still was putting quite the pace, so i would say he has some skills on wet too.

Looks like Juho is trying to make life interesting for himself at last round. Rally is far from over put seems that Juho is no longer part of it.

Tänak definetely have been taken Hänninen under pressure, and so far Tänak has taken acceptable risks and wiser choices. But we will see how it goes tomorrow in France. IT's not over yet.

Hope there will be 20 of these guys like Tänak, Hänninen fighting for SS wins, victory and championships in future.

That's could've been the case yesterday before the puncture, but today - there should not have been any pressure from Ott to Juho, that game was over. Has there been any video on Juho's crash? I think the pressure could come inside the team. Still - this is rallying and anything can happen whether driving on or off attack.
